Get 1 packages ricotta cheese / 8oz. (As stated above, I used 15 oz of ricotta)
Get 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Take Layers
Get 9 Lasagna noodles, cooked and drained (I always make a few extra, just in case some break while cooking)
Take 6 slice provolone cheese
Prepare 3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Steps to make Traditional Lasagna:
In a large skillet, cook beef and pork over medium heat until no longer pink, drain.
Boil salted water, add noodles, cook till aldente, turn off heat, keep in pot until assembling
Add tomato sauce, tomato paste, garlic, sugar, salt, Italian seasoning, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, simmer, uncovered for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. (This thickened up for me in no more then 30 minutes, so be sure to watch it! )
Now preheat oven to 375°F
In a large bowl, combine eggs, parsley, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese and parmesan cheese.
Spread 1 cup of meat sauce in an UNgreased 13x9x2 inch baking dish.
Layer with 3 noodles, provolone cheese, 2 cups of cheese mixture, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Layer 3 noodles, 2 cups of meat sauce, remaining cheese mixture, and 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
Top with the 3 remaining noodles, meat sauce, and mozzarella cheese. (Dish will be full!)
Cover with tin foil (I lightly spray the "touching side" with Pam so the cheese doesn't stick to the foil when removed)
Bake at 375°F for 50 minutes. Uncover, and bake 20 minutes longer, or until heated through. Let stand for 15 minutes (I always wait about 30 minutes, just to insure all the layers won't spill out when cut)
